Tuesday was an amazing day of planes, trains and buses. We boarded our Taca flight from Lima and were surprised at how new and comfortable the plane was. We landed in Cusco, flying over mountains was exhilirating for our team. Everyone is still relatively healthy . . . I still have this chest cough but nothing too difficult.
We then took a 1 hour bus ride to the train station. It was really cool to stop and shop on the way, see the Quecha people, pet lamas and eat lama meat, really tender.
The train ride was 2 and a half hours to Aguas Calientes (hot springs) which is only 30 minutes from Machu Picchu. BREATHTAKING! Snow cap mountains, beautiful countryside, raging rivers.
Today we climb up to Machu Picchu . . well, the team is already there, Jen and I are taking it easy this morning, getting up at 4:30 AM to see the sunrise was a little too much. You have seen one ruin, you´ve seen them all . . .at least that is what my friend Jim E. would say.
Tonight we returned to Cusco and met with the leaders of 200 churches. On Thursday we will be teaching at their annual conference.
We ask for your prayers as some of our members are sick. Altitude here is 11, 000 feet.
We love you and hope you are well family and friends!
FROM the Mountains of Peru,
Can you say, CHOW, CHOW
